When the Second Karabakh War broke out on September 27 last year, the leaders of Armenia and the puppet regime in occupied Karabakh announced that military operations would be conducted until the complete destruction of the enemy - that is, Azerbaijan. These slogans were consistent with the prevailing opinion in the Armenian society that in the event of a resumption of hostilities, Armenian tanks would end up in Baku. They ended up there, but as war trophies of the Azerbaijani army - and the fact that this happened is partly due to the traditions of myth-making, rooted in the Armenian political and intellectual elite.
